Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Wootton
Do you come out to small places like Wootton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn parties in Wootton get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
