Hog roast hire in Wickham Common, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for wakes and christmas parties.
In a small place like Wickham Common, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Wickham Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
