Weeke questions
How far is Weeke from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Matthew: can you cater?
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.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We cater across Hampshire, including Weeke. Ask for a quote.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Weeke lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What else we do in Weeke
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Weeke: venues, access and local tips
Weeke is about 1 mile north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in Weeke, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Weeke is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Weeke to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Winchester station, about 0.6 miles south-east. A green space like St. Cross Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
Here we cover the SO22 and SO23 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Elm Road, Dean Lane and Links Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For events just outside Weeke, we cover Harestock (1 mile north), Hyde (1 mile east), Abbotts Barton (1 mile east), Winchester (1 mile south-east) and Littleton (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastleigh (7 miles south), Andover (12 miles north-west), Totton (13 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (6 miles south), Hedge End (11 miles south) and Romsey (8 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Winchester Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum (0.8 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Twyford Down and Winnall Moors.
- Nearby schools include Peter Symonds College (0.6 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Railway Inn (0.6 miles south-east)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Where the roaster can go in Weeke
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
