Slow-roasted pork in Chartway Street
Party hog roast in Chartway Street, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. Typical bookings include engagement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Chartway Street
Is Chartway Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Chartway Street close to London?
About 36 miles from central London.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
