How our hog roast for events works in Woolage Village
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Woolage Village. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Whether it’s vintage rallies and PTA summer fairs, we can cook hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Woolage Village, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch
- Space for people to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Woolage Village
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For an autumn event in Woolage Village, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
