What else we do in Winterbourne
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it’s light in Winterbourne until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Winterbourne
We are gathering after a service at Christ 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Winterbourne close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
