What else we do in Woolstone
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Daytime open days in Woolstone are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Questions from Woolstone
Is Woolstone close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
A hog roast or other catering?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
