What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Chilton Green: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Chilton Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we will reply promptly.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Step by step
