About our hog roast for events in Charlton

How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In late May, sunset in Charlton is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
