How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Planning an evening hog roast in Wennington? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Hog roast hire in Wennington, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is festive gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In Wennington, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Questions from Wennington
Could you cook in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary and St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cover Wennington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wennington and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Wennington hosts choose us

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance

- Access for our equipment, without steps
As a London location, Wennington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Events we cater in Wennington
