How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Woolstone at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for Woolstone
Is Woolstone close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Woolstone too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
