Hog roast hire in Chillenden, carved to order
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for community events and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Chillenden, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Chillenden is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
