How our hog roast hire works in Woolbeding
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and christmas fairs.
For a rural spot like Woolbeding, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evenings in Woolbeding stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What else we do in Woolbeding
Woolbeding: your questions answered
Is Woolbeding close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Woolbeding?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
