Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Chicken widens the choice.

Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

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 often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Chilton
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Anywhere in CT11 and CT12, we can roast on site for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Chilton, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
