Party hog roast in Chiddingly, carved to order
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Chiddingly suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. We’re often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and big family get-togethers, with apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
Near Chiddingly, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Common questions in Chiddingly
Is Chiddingly too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Chiddingly from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Chiddingly is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
