Hog roast for events in Northchapel
How our hog roast for events works in Northchapel
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Northchapel. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For fundraising events and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling.
A fête near Northchapel might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
FAQs for Northchapel
Is Northchapel too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cover Northchapel?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Northchapel and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Northchapel have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Northchapel
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
