Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:

Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Lower Heyford, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
