Questions from Brighton Hill
What’s the nearest station to Brighton Hill?
Basingstoke station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you serve on plates?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
