Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Woodend: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Woodend?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Is Woodend too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Woodend

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Woodend are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
