FAQs for Bletchley
How far is Bletchley from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
