Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count families and staff too

We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.

FAQs for Woolstone
How far is Woolstone from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What affects the price in Woolstone
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Woolstone, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
