A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.

Blackbird Leys questions
Is Blackbird Leys close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Blackbird Leys?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?

The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.

Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
