Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chute Forest, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Questions from Chute Forest
Is Chute Forest close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Who books hog roast hire in Chute Forest?

- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- A clear list of what’s included
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
