Work events near Wigmore might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Wigmore: your questions answered
Is Wigmore close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Wigmore?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, given level ground and clearance.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll cater for all.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Daytime open days in Wigmore are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
