Hog roast hire in Chartridge, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and birthdays and anniversaries.
In a small place like Chartridge, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chartridge, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
