FAQs for Dean Court
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Dean Court?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Dean Court?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Dean Court
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. After-work summer events in Dean Court have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 9:00pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
