Questions from Chartwell Green
Which station is closest to Chartwell Green?
The closest is Swaythling station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late May in Chartwell Green has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
