What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Someone to meet us
- Sign-off from management
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
