Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Chilworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Chilworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Chilworth?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where on site can you cook?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cater in Chilworth?
Yes, Chilworth is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
For event organisers in Chilworth
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What affects the price in Chilworth
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
