Chaldon questions
Can you do a hog roast in Kitchen Copse?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Chaldon?
The closest is Caterham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
About our party hog roast in Chaldon
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. On the menu are apple sauce, crackling and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and engagement celebrations.
In a small place like Chaldon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
