Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Sutton Wick
Which station is closest to Sutton Wick?
The closest is Appleford station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Albert Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
