Hog roast catering in EC1R: local guide
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in EC1R, so the setting can be anything from Farringdon, Smithfield and Holborn to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Farringdon: Churches such as St John Clerkenwell rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. For a fundraiser at a school like Charterhouse Square School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Around midsummer it stays light in Farringdon until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
