Hog roast hire in Chaldon
Hog roast hire in Chaldon, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings and receptions.
For a rural spot like Chaldon, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Light matters for a long roast: around Chaldon, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Chaldon questions
Could you cook in Kitchen Copse?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Chaldon close to London?
About 15 miles from central London.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you cover Chaldon?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Why choose a hog roast in Chaldon?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
