Questions from Wadwick
What’s the nearest station to Wadwick?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 3.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Wadwick too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
