Hog roast for events in Woodside Park
FAQs for Woodside Park
Do you trade at school fairs around Woodside Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.

Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
