Chinnor questions
What’s the nearest station to Chinnor?
Princes Risborough station, about 3.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
