Hog roast hire in Woodchurch, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for weddings and receptions and community events.
In a hamlet or village like Woodchurch, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

After a service at Parish Church of All Saints, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. If you had Stone Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Woodchurch: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Stone Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Woodchurch, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
