Party hog roast in South Wonston, slow-roasted on site

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in South Wonston stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

FAQs for South Wonston
Can you cater after a service at St Margaret's?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like South Wonston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
