Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Chawley

Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Chawley stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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 carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
