Hog roast for events for Chalfont Common
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Chalfont Common stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time

How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Chalfont Common
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
