Party hog roast in Woodnesborough
Party hog roast in Woodnesborough, slow-roasted on site

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Historic houses near Woodnesborough include Goodnestone Park (3.8 miles west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.

Woodnesborough questions
What’s the nearest station to Woodnesborough?
Sandwich station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Woodnesborough stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
