For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for your team

Things that change the price:

  • The journey to the venue
  • Site access
  • How many people are eating
  • Time on site

For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Details that help

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Any venue rules
  • What the outdoor space is like

It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Where the roaster can go in Hook Norton

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

  • Access through the site gates
  • Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
  • Shelter for the team

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?

Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. 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. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

What you get with us

  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • Served at the time you choose

A closer look at the menu

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

FAQs for Hook Norton

Is Hook Norton close to London?

Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

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.

How big a hog will we need?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

How do we prepare?

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Can it be more formal?

Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
  • Share the allergen information with the team
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Step by step

The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For a staff lunch in Hook Norton, daylight isn’t 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 9:30pm.

  1. You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
  2. We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
  3. We set up early and get the hog roasting.
  4. We serve quickly within your break.
  5. We tidy up and leave the site clean.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
