Christmas hog roast in Chalton, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Chalton. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and festive open evenings, serving crackling, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.
In winter near Chalton, we need firm ground and light. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Questions from Chalton
How far is Chalton from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or PO8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
