What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

About our care home hog roast in Highmoor
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for seasonal events and garden fêtes.
Rural care homes near Highmoor can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

FAQs for Highmoor
Is Highmoor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Highmoor?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Highmoor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Highmoor and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Away from opening windows
- Away from emergency routes
- Flat ground in the grounds

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late May in Highmoor has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
