Common questions in Lychpit
Could you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Lychpit?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Balance the food line-up
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Chicken widens the choice.

- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
