The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In summer, Winterbrook has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Your questions about a hog roast day in Winterbrook

How far is Winterbrook from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A named contact on the day
- Sign-off from management
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)

Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
