Chute Forest questions
Is Chute Forest too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Chute Forest?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Chute Forest hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
