Hinxhill: your questions answered
Can you cook in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
