Winklebury questions
We are gathering after a service at The Good Shepherd: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Winklebury?
Basingstoke station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year

- Which meats and sides you choose

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Winklebury, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
