How our party hog roast works in Woodend
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s anniversary parties and neighbourhood parties, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Country parties near Woodend suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Woodend questions
Which station is closest to Woodend?
Botley station, about 4.6 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Woodend?

What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
