Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How our hog roast hire works in Wootton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include wakes and christmas fairs, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
There may be a hall or playing field near Wootton if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Wootton hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Wootton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.

Questions from Wootton

What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
Ryde Esplanade station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
