That could mean an event in a garden on Market Square, Market End Way and London Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Chicken widens the choice.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Bicester lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
