Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

FAQs for Chiddingly
How far is Chiddingly from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Chiddingly too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll talk it through.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you come to Chiddingly?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Chiddingly stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. 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.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
