Hog roast for events in Chilson
For event organisers in Chilson
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Hog roast for events in Chilson, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for horse and dog shows and PTA summer fairs.
A fête near Chilson might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Chilson
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Chilson
How far is Chilson from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Chilson?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Chilson, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- 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
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
