Common questions in Wingham
Is Wingham close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Wingham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater in Wingham?
Yes, Wingham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
