Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Epwell, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and staff days and open days.

Bringing a hog roast to Epwell

If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Anne, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast.

Common questions in Epwell
Is Epwell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Anne?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you come to Epwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Epwell and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late September evenings in Epwell lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
