Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How our wedding hog roast works in West Chiltington

Common questions in West Chiltington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In West Chiltington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

How to prepare

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
