About our party hog roast in Woodway
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. For street parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we can cook crackling, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Woodway, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Woodway, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
