Shooting in Clapton: unit bases and access
Clapton is about 6 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Clapton, from gardens to fields. Clapton is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Clapton to Reading (20 miles away).
Within reach of Clapton are historic houses such as Benham Park (3.9 miles south-east). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is Kintbury station, about 1.8 miles south. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Clapton, so check cooking and vehicle rules with locations.
For shoots in RG17, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Wickham (1 mile north-east), Upper Denford (1 mile west), Halfway (2 miles south-east), Lower Denford (2 miles south-west) and Shefford Woodlands (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Newbury (6 miles east), Thatcham (9 miles east), Speenhamland (6 miles east), Hungerford (3 miles west), Lambourn (6 miles north-west) and Shaw (6 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Hamstead Marshall 3 (3.1 miles south-east). Open spaces near Clapton include Sole Common Pond.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
