How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evenings in Woodend stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Your questions about a hog roast in Woodend
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Woodend close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
We cover Hampshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
