Common questions in Wootton
Can you roast near the sea around Wootton?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at St John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you come to Wootton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Step by step

At midsummer, it’s light in Wootton until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
