A hog roast near Woolpack Corner
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How our party hog roast works in Woolpack Corner
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and big family get-togethers, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Woolpack Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
