Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in Bletchingdon until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
