About our hog roast hire in Wendlebury
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include christmas parties and community events, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Wendlebury, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Wendlebury, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm 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.

What else we do in Wendlebury
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Your questions about a hog roast in Wendlebury
Do you come out to small places like Wendlebury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Giles?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
