The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is Stockcross too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
When should we book?

Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.

The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
