How our hog roast hire works in Botley
People book a hog roast in Botley for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Botley, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Questions from Botley
Do you come out to small places like Botley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Why choose a hog roast in Botley?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Botley. In Botley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare

How to get a price
