Slow-roasted pork in Woolton Hill
How our party hog roast works in Woolton Hill
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it is leaving and retirement do’s and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Woolton Hill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Autumn parties in Woolton Hill get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains

FAQs for Woolton Hill
Do you come out to small places like Woolton Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Woolton Hill from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Woolton Hill
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
