Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Hog roast hire for your event in Wadwick
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Somewhere like Wadwick, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Wadwick questions
Do you come out to small places like Wadwick?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Wadwick?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Wadwick, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: 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’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
