Woodway questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Woodway?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you cover Woodway?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Woodway and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Where the roaster can go in Woodway
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
