Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Questions from Woolton Hill
What’s the nearest station to Woolton Hill?
Newbury station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Woolton Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Do you come to Woolton Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
