A hog roast across SE7: what to know
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in SE7, so whether your event is in Woolwich, Westcombe Park and Charlton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Charlton: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Catherine Labouré, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. If you had Charlton Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Charlton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
