Wedding hog roast for Chilton Green
Chilton Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Chilton Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How our wedding hog roast works in Chilton Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We are frequently asked to cater small, informal weddings and weddings in a marquee, with new potatoes, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Chilton Green, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Chilton Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What affects the price in Chilton Green
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Chilton Green
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
