Hog roast hire in Winterbrook, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For weddings, day or evening and wakes, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and coleslaw and more.
In a small place like Winterbrook, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Winterbrook
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Winterbrook, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
