Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Where the roaster can go in Chawley
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Chawley is about 7:10pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
