Book a hog roast in Woolage Green
Hog roast hire in Woolage Green, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and christmas fairs, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads.
In a small place like Woolage Green, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? 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 whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
