Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
Why choose a hog roast in Chineham?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Questions from Chineham
Can you come to a school fair in Chineham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come to Chineham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Chineham and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
