Should I cook it myself?

Aldermaston Wharf questions
Can you do a hog roast in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Aldermaston Wharf?
Aldermaston Wharf has its own station: Aldermaston station.
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 about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
