Hartley Wintney: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Hartley Wintney from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Hartley Wintney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
