A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
About our hog roast for events in Woodgreen
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for horse and dog shows and vintage rallies.
Rural events near Woodgreen can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What affects the price in Woodgreen
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an autumn event in Woodgreen, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
