Catered or do it yourself?

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Hinksey Hill lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Events we cater in Hinksey Hill
Families, older visitors and children all eat it.
