The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day.

- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Wigley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Wigley 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.
Is electricity needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you cover Wigley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wigley and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
