Your questions about a hog roast in Wymering
Is Wymering close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you travel across Portsmouth?
We cater across Portsmouth. Ask for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
