A hog roast near Chartway Street
Hog roast hire in Chartway Street, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For parties at home and christmas fairs, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
In a rural place like Chartway Street, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
For event organisers in Chartway Street
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Planning an evening hog roast in Chartway Street? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?
