Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like South Hinksey?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, depending on the crockery and menu.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in South Hinksey, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
