Questions from Chilworth Old Village
Is Chilworth Old Village close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast near the sea around Chilworth Old Village?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add coleslaw.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space for people to queue
- Your trader requirements
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
