Hog roast hire in Great Tew, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Great Tew. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. On the menu are salads, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a small place like Great Tew, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
What affects the price in Great Tew

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Questions from Great Tew
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Great Tew too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
