- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Woodcote have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Woodcote: your questions answered
Is Woodcote close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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’ll follow the site rules.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
