Hog roast for events in Woolmer Hill, slow-roasted on site
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. For school events and car and steam shows, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
Rural events near Woolmer Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In late May, sunset in Woolmer Hill is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
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.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
