Wivelrod: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wivelrod?
Alton station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Chapel of Alton Abbey: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you cater in Wivelrod?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wivelrod and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Wivelrod
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
