DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Wymering is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time

Common questions in Wymering
Which station is closest to Wymering?
Cosham station, in Wymering itself.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Details of what the event requires
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
