About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Chilworth questions
Can you roast near the sea around Chilworth?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Denys: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater in Chilworth?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Chilworth
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
