Common questions in St George in the East
Which station is closest to St George in the East?

Could you cook in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
