FAQs for East Chiltington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is East Chiltington close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Travel to East Chiltington
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
