Hog roast for events in Chilworth
How our hog roast for events works in Chilworth
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Typical bookings include town and village days and small festivals, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
Rural events near Chilworth can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Chilworth is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
