For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. 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 usually easier.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Winton
Is Winton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Do you come to Winton?
Yes, Winton is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
