Common questions in Chineham
Can you do a hog roast in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Chineham?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In summer, Chineham has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
