Your questions about a hog roast in Woosehill

Is Woosehill close to London?

About 33 miles from central London.

We’re gathering after a service at Woosehill Community Church: can you cater?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Who serves?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

What space does the roaster need?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

What happens when we hire a hog roast?

You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.

How do you work out quantities?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?

Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.

Prices and what affects them

Your quote depends on:

Numbers
The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Plates or china
How easy it is to reach the spot

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Allergies and dietary needs

Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

Full catering or machine hire?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
