What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Wootton is dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Wootton
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you come to Wootton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
