A hog roast near Chipstead
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chipstead, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Hog roast hire in Chipstead, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Chipstead: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wakes and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
Gardens in Chipstead tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot well away from fences, sheds and windows. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Chipstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
