Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Is Wrecclesham close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Underdown 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 big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we’ll respond.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
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’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
