Common questions in Fulbrook
What’s the nearest station to Fulbrook?
Shipton station, about 3.8 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint James the Great?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
