Questions from Woodstock
Is Woodstock close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Woodstock?
Hanborough station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

What affects the price in Woodstock
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
