Common questions in Chessington
What’s the nearest station to Chessington?
Chessington has its own station: Chessington North station.
Do you trade at school fairs around Chessington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station

- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
