Slow-roasted pork in Chalvey
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
What affects the price in Chalvey
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Chalvey
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Chalvey questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Chalvey close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you cover Chalvey?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Chalvey and the rest of Slough included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
