Fritwell: your questions answered
How far is Fritwell from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Fritwell?
Heyford station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
