A hog roast in Little Frieth: local details
Little Frieth is about 4 miles north-west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. Little Frieth and the surrounding area are covered for events. Little Frieth is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 12 miles away.
For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like Frieth Church of England Combined School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Little Frieth is within about 5 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
For events in RG9, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Innings Road and Spurgrove Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Little Frieth, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

FAQs for Little Frieth
Which station is closest to Little Frieth?
Marlow station, about 4.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Little Frieth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
