How our party hog roast works in Woolage Green
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and apple sauce, and we are often booked for street parties and christenings.
A country party near Woolage Green is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Woolage Green
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

- A step-free way into the garden
- Parking close to the house

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening parties in Woolage Green need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
