Common questions in Oakgrove
Could you cook in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Oakgrove close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What about a wrap party?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, daylight in Oakgrove lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your crew
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
