A hog roast near Wickstreet
Hog roast hire in Wickstreet, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and corporate events.
In a small place like Wickstreet, 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. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

FAQs for Wickstreet
How far is Wickstreet from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Pancras?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late September evenings in Wickstreet lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
