Slow-roasted pork in Cutteslowe
Corporate hog roast in Cutteslowe, slow-roasted on site
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for summer team parties and retirement do’s.
Work events near Cutteslowe might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Shelter for the team
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees

- The date and time of year
- Travel to Cutteslowe
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Cutteslowe
Could you cook in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Cutteslowe close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
