Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our Christmas hog roast in Woolage Green
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater new Year parties and christmas lights switch-ons.
Near Woolage Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Parking near the cooking area
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
