The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order for a festive feel.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Winchfield questions
What’s the nearest station to Winchfield?

Is Winchfield close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
