Slow-roasted pork in The Chart
How our party hog roast works in The Chart
For a christening or naming day in The Chart, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. We’re often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and wedding anniversaries, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Country parties near The Chart suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evening parties in The Chart need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.

What else we do in The Chart
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why choose party hog roast in The Chart?
You get to enjoy your own party.
However big or small the event in The Chart, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Street parties
- Big family get-togethers
- Christenings and naming days
- Retirement parties
Nearby historic houses include Chartwell (1.9 miles east) and Quebec House (2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
What to look for in a quote
- The space, cover and access they need
- Any travel or access charges
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
