Winterbourne: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Winterbourne?
Selling station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By about 3:50pm in late December, Winterbourne is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

We work out each quote from:
- Numbers

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
