Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
About our hog roast hire in Chineham
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For big birthdays and anniversaries and weddings, day or evening, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Around Chineham, bookings are frequently at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

What affects the price in Chineham
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Travel to Chineham
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Chineham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
