The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In winter, it is dark in Chilton by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
