Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Halal is not offered
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in West Chiltington Common 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
