Slow-roasted pork in Chillenden
How our party hog roast works in Chillenden
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Chillenden suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. On the menu are jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for reunions and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Chillenden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Chillenden stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
