Why choose a hog roast in Woodcote?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why Woodcote hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Woodcote in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Roast turkey can be added.
Questions from Woodcote
What if our house in Woodcote has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Woodcote?
The closest is Reedham (London) station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Do hog roasts work in winter?

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Vehicle access close by
- Indoor space for eating
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
Woodcote is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
