Christmas hog roast in Woolage Village, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For christmas markets and year-end thank-yous, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, apple sauce and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Woolage Village, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woolage Village
Do you come out to small places like Woolage Village?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Woolage Village?
Snowdown station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
