West Chiltington Common questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is West Chiltington Common from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
