Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

About our hog roast hire in Chartwell Green
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and sports clubs and societies.
There may be a hall or playing field near Chartwell Green if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
