How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.

Planning a hog roast in Bicester

For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Bicester: Bicester North station. For a fundraiser at a school like Brookside Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school.
Wherever your event is in OX26 and OX27, we can bring the roaster to you. From Market Square, Market End Way and London Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset in Bicester is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Ask for a quote

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
