Wingrave questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Wingrave too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Hog roast hire in Wingrave, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for weddings and receptions and summer garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Wingrave, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Wingrave, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
