North Hinksey: your questions answered
Is North Hinksey close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
