Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day

Your questions about a hog roast in Culham
How far is Culham from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Culham?
Culham station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Culham stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
