A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We pack away straight after service.
For an evening wrap.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Culham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or OX14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
