How our hog roast hire works in Chithurst
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Chithurst. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re often asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs, with new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere like Chithurst, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Chithurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
