Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Chapel Row
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Chapel Row, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
