How our hog roast for events works in Woodside
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and country shows, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Street parties and school fairs in Woodside suit a hog roast stall. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Woodside are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Permission for cooking on the site
Woodside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
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.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
