About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Wichling questions
Is Wichling close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Doddington Place Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal is not offered
- Balance the food line-up
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in Wichling is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
