FAQs for Chipstead
Could you cook in Fames Rough?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Chipstead?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Where does the hog roast go?
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 will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Chipstead, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
