How our hog roast hire works in Waltham Chase
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Waltham Chase. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For staff days and open days and clubhouse events, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Waltham Chase, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late September evenings in Waltham Chase lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
For event organisers in Waltham Chase
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are 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.
