Winton questions
How far is Winton from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Winton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Winton
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
