How our hog roast for events works in Little Woodcote
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for club events and fundraising events.
Events in Little Woodcote range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Organising for someone else?

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Little Woodcote: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Little Woodcote?
Woodmansterne station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Little Woodcote?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Chicken widens the choice.
