How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer hog roast day in Walton Manor, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Walton Manor
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Walton Manor: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Walton Manor?
Oxford station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
