About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast starts early, and in December Milton Heights is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive

Questions from Milton Heights
Which station is closest to Milton Heights?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 2.6 miles away.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

We do. Tell us the date and location.
