Other occasions in Wildhern
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A named contact for the day
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Wildhern: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wildhern?
Andover station, about 3.1 miles south of the centre.
Is Wildhern too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How does payment work for businesses?
Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
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.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
