FAQs for Whistley Green
Could you cook in Loddon Nature Reserve?

Twyford station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.

Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
