FAQs for Over Wallop
Is Over Wallop close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Party hog roast near Over Wallop
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for retirement celebrations and engagement celebrations.
In a small place like Over Wallop, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
