Chilgrove: your questions answered
Is Chilgrove close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Chilgrove too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Evening parties in Chilgrove need a little planning: 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.
