Hog roast for events in Chobham
Hog roast for events in Chobham, slow-roasted on site
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it is church and village fêtes and fundraising events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
Summer fairs around Chobham are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Chobham are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- 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 carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add coleslaw.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
