Party hog roast in Chidham, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Chidham, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, coleslaw and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for getting-engaged parties and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Chidham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Is Chidham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What about coeliacs?

Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?

How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in Chidham, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
