Inkpen Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Inkpen Common?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Inkpen Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
