For a Christmas get-together near Weeke, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, it’s dark in Weeke by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
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 everyone in the loop.
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.
Weeke: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Weeke?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
