How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For an evening party in Woolmer Hill, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
