Common questions in Woolstone
Could you cook in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Woolstone close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset near Woolstone is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
