About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Chawley comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.

What affects the price in Chawley
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Where the roaster can go in Chawley
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Indoor space for eating
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
