Slow-roasted pork in Botley
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Botley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We will sign in and follow site rules.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
A hog roast compared with other options

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
