FAQs for Chilgrove
Is Chilgrove too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

- The journey to the venue

We clear the pitch and take everything away.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
