The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Botley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Botley: your questions answered
Is Botley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We are happy to talk it through.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
