For event organisers in Chilworth Old Village
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. On a winter shoot near Chilworth Old Village, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your crew
