Great Missenden station, about 2.6 miles east of the centre.

Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Great Hampden have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
