Titchfield Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Titchfield Common?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How far is Titchfield Common from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
