Woolmer questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Woolmer?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Woolmer is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
