Hog roast for events for Chithurst
How our hog roast for events works in Chithurst
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for town and village days and horse and dog shows.
At a fête or show near Chithurst, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Chithurst hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Chithurst have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
