What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX39 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact on the day
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Sign-off from management
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
