Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

About our hog roast hire in Kiddington

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Kiddington, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Kiddington
What’s the nearest station to Kiddington?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
