The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Woolstone, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Questions from Woolstone
Is Woolstone close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
All of Oxfordshire is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
