About our hog roast hire in Woodhatch
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Woodhatch, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and staff days and open days, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and coleslaw.
In a rural place like Woodhatch, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Woodhatch lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
