How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Church Enstone, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- 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
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers

- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
