How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Daytime open days in Wootton are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.

Can you roast near the sea around Wootton?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
