For event organisers in Whippingham
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Questions from Whippingham
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mildred's Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Whippingham?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Questions to ask before booking
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Whether travel is included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Whippingham, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
