Blenheim questions
What’s the nearest station to Blenheim?

How far is Blenheim from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about texture-modified diets?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.

For event organisers in Blenheim
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them

- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
