The process

- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.

FAQs for Winnersh
Can you do a hog roast in Maiden Erlegh Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Winnersh from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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.

We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
