Hog roast hire in West Chiltington
How our hog roast hire works in West Chiltington
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and parties at home.
For a rural spot like West Chiltington, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
