Hog roast hire for Wickham
Hog roast hire for your event in Wickham
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and garden parties and barbecues, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In and around Wickham, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Wickham: your questions answered
How far is Wickham from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Where the roaster can go in Wickham
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Evenings in Wickham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
