Questions from Horton-cum-Studley
Could you cook in Katie and George Park?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
What space does the roaster 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 picture helps.

What we serve, dish by dish

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Horton-cum-Studley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
