Hog roast hire for your event in High Cogges
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in High Cogges, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We’re often asked to cater community events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads.
Somewhere as small as High Cogges, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

High Cogges questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 will gather.
Is High Cogges close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
