Party hog roast near Wood Street Village
In Wood Street Village, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. We are often asked to cater family reunions and leaving and retirement do’s, with rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Wood Street Village, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Wood Street Village
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week

We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Sunset in Wood Street Village is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
