Shenington questions
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Shenington comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A Christmas fair at Church of Holy Trinity is just the kind of event a hog roast suits.
For Christmas parties in OX15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Rattlecombe Road, The Level and Mill Lane, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
