How our party hog roast works in Chegworth
After a christening near Chegworth, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. For close and cul-de-sac parties and getting-engaged parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes for your guests.
Country parties near Chegworth suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Chegworth
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Chegworth: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Chegworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you come to Chegworth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chegworth and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
