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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About our Christmas hog roast in Wootton
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for family Christmas gatherings and christmas lights switch-ons.
Near Wootton, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

FAQs for Wootton
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
New Milton station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
