Why choose a hog roast in Charlton?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Charlton hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
