Hog roast hire in Wecock Farm
How our hog roast hire works in Wecock Farm
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Wecock Farm. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and summer garden parties.
In and around Wecock Farm, gardens and village halls are common choices. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late September evenings in Wecock Farm lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
