Common questions in Hinton Waldrist
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hinton Waldrist too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where the roaster can go in Hinton Waldrist
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

What happens on the day

Evening food at a Hinton Waldrist wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
