Your questions about a hog roast in Woolmer
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at St Matthew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us

- We bring everything to cook and serve

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in Woolmer
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
