Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Which station is closest to Chainhurst?
The closest is Marden station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is Chainhurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, it is light in Chainhurst until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
