Questions from Wecock Farm
What’s the nearest station to Wecock Farm?
Rowlands Castle station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at The Hart Plain Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
