Why book our hog roast in Lower Heyford
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
