Prices and what affects them

Each price is built from:

  • Menu choices and extras
  • Time on site
  • Crockery choices
  • Travel to Bloxham

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we need to know

Here’s what we’ll ask:

  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
  • Your menu choices
  • The venue or postcode
  • Rules from the venue or landowner

It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

A hog roast compared with other options

Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Why book our hog roast in Bloxham

  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Timed around your day

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

The process

The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Light matters for a long roast: around Bloxham, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Preparing for the day

  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Ask for a quote

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
