A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.

Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How our hog roast hire works in Chilworth Old Village
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it’s christmas fairs and big birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere like Chilworth Old Village, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
