Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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 we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers

Questions from Clifton Hampden
How far is Clifton Hampden from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Parking near the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
