FAQs for Blewbury
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Blewbury?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A safe distance from the hall
- Space inside for guests
- One contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
