We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and milestone birthdays.
There may be a hall or playing field near Coxford if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
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 it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Coxford, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
