How our party hog roast works in Woodmancote

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Woodmancote need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Woodmancote hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Common questions in Woodmancote

The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Will there be enough to go round?

How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
