About our party hog roast in Chalgrove
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement do’s and wedding anniversaries, serving a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
Around Chalgrove, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Questions from Chalgrove
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Chalgrove close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you come to Chalgrove?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Why choose party hog roast in Chalgrove?
You are a host, not a cook, because we do the cooking and serving.

What else we do in Chalgrove
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn parties in Chalgrove get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
