Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Chartwell Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch with firm ground
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
