Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Wickhambreaux
Is Wickhambreaux close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Wickhambreaux
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Wickhambreaux need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
