Little Hungerford questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Little Hungerford?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 4.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if things run late?
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.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
