What’s the nearest station to Kingwood Common?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Is Kingwood Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is turkey available?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Christmas hog roast in Kingwood Common, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater festive family get-togethers and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In a small place like Kingwood Common, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
