A hog roast near Winterbourne
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Winterbourne
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We serve coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for staff summer days and staff thank-you lunches.
Rural businesses around Winterbourne can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Winterbourne questions
Is Winterbourne close to London?

Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much will it be?

Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What affects the price in Winterbourne
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Winterbourne
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
