Hog roast for events near East Chiltington
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for vintage rallies and food and music festivals.
At a field event near East Chiltington, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- The address or postcode

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in East Chiltington are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
