Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How our hog roast hire works in Milton-under-Wychwood
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties, serving new potatoes, crackling and salads.
In a small place like Milton-under-Wychwood, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area

Your questions about a hog roast in Milton-under-Wychwood
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Simon and St Jude?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Milton-under-Wychwood close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?

Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
