Is Woking close to London?

Can you do a hog roast in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.

We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Do you leave the area tidy?
