What affects the price in Calcot

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Calcot
How far is Calcot from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Calcot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
