How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Late-May events in Woodmancote have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Chicken widens the choice.
Woodmancote: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Woodmancote?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
