Hog roast for events for Woolhampton
How our hog roast for events works in Woolhampton
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and vintage rallies.
A fête near Woolhampton might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Woolhampton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access

Woolhampton questions
How far is Woolhampton from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Woolhampton?
Midgham station, in Woolhampton itself.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater in Woolhampton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
