A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast in Hook Norton
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Hog roast hire in Hook Norton, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For weddings and receptions and wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook new potatoes, salads and crackling for your guests.
In a smaller place like Hook Norton, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hook Norton, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.

- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.

Hook Norton questions
Is Hook Norton close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Oxfordshire is part of our area, including Hook Norton. Contact us for a price.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
