How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Lower Assendon
Could you cook in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Assendon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you cover Lower Assendon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Lower Assendon and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Why choose a hog roast in Lower Assendon?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
