Winchfield questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Winchfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Why choose a hog roast in Winchfield?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Winchfield wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
