Beckley: your questions answered
Could you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Beckley?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day.
Do you come to Beckley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Beckley and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Beckley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
