Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-May events in Aston Tirrold have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or OX11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
