Party hog roast for Winterbourne
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Common questions in Winterbourne
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Winterbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Winterbourne?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

How the day works
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. Sunset in Winterbourne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
