Common questions in Wickhambreaux
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Wickhambreaux from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: around Wickhambreaux, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
