Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas parties in Cothill are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Cothill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cothill?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Is Cothill close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens if it is dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
