Here’s what people in Woolston most frequently book a hog roast for:

- Anniversary vow renewals
- Small, informal weddings
- Marquee weddings
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mark, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting.
Before booking anyone
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive

For event organisers in Woolston
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
