Aston Clinton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Aston Clinton?
Stoke Mandeville station, about 2.7 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Prices and what affects them

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
