What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At a December wedding in Woodchurch, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Woodchurch
Could you cook in Stone Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
