Questions from Henley Street
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you cover Henley Street?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer evenings in Henley Street stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
