Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Questions from North Hinksey
Can you cater after a service at St Peter and St Paul?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
