Questions from Chelsham

Which station is closest to Chelsham?

What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Chelsham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
