How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Chiltington comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

Common questions in Chiltington
How far is Chiltington from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Chiltington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Where the roaster can go in Chiltington
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
