What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Here’s what we will ask:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Shellingford
Is Shellingford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Shellingford close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us and we will see what’s possible.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Shellingford, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
