Binley questions
Which station is closest to Binley?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 3.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Binley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Binley ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
