About our Christmas hog roast in Wickham Common
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. For winter fairs and markets and winter open days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast turkey.
In a small place like Wickham Common, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Wickham Common
Is Wickham Common too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wickham Common close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens if it is dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
