After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.

What affects the price in Oving
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, it is dark in Oving by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Where the roaster can go in Oving
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
