Hog roast for events in Chilmington Green, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours. For school events and small festivals, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A fête near Chilmington Green might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Chilmington Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Your trader requirements
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
