Should I cook it myself?

FAQs for Chilworth Old Village

Chandlers Ford station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?

Can we just hire the roaster?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Chilworth Old Village, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
