Common questions in Horton-cum-Studley
Could you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Horton-cum-Studley from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
