- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In summer, Chiddingfold has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Chiddingfold
