What else we do in Chilton
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Chilton
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A queuing area
