Party hog roast in Woodlands, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Woodlands, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and naming ceremonies.
In a small place like Woodlands, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast for your party
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Woodlands
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Woodlands?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
