Common questions in Woodmancote
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Tottington Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
