FAQs for Winchfield
Is Winchfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wake in Winchfield, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
