What else we do in Chartridge
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Parking close to the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Crackling
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Chartridge until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests

Chartridge: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Chartridge
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help

- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
