Common questions in Wannock
Can you roast near the sea around Wannock?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at St Wilfrid: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Wannock, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- 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
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
