Hog roast hire for your event in Chiltington
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Chiltington. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. For work summer parties and weddings and receptions, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a small place like Chiltington, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed

Your questions about a hog roast in Chiltington
Do you come out to small places like Chiltington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Chiltington?
The closest is Cooksbridge station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
