About our party hog roast in Chilbolton
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We’re often asked to cater naming ceremonies and big birthday parties, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Country parties near Chilbolton suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Chilbolton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Chilbolton questions
Could you cook in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Chilbolton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
