How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Light matters for a long roast: around Weyhill, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Weyhill: your questions answered
How far is Weyhill from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
We cater across Hampshire. Ask for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you cover Weyhill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Weyhill and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
