Hog roast for events in Wootton
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Hog roast for events in Wootton, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. For school fairs and sports days and church and village fêtes, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Wootton, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What a hog roast costs

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, Wootton is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
