Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Wash Common
Can you do a hog roast in Sandleford Priory?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Wash Common?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
For event organisers in Wash Common
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us one contact in production, typically locations or the production office.
