FAQs for Wherwell Wood
How far is Wherwell Wood from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Wherwell Wood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
