Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Charlton
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Charlton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. 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.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Charlton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Details of what the event requires
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
About the food
