Common questions in Oving
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Oving too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September sunset in Oving is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
