Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX29 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for 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.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Northmoor, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually 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.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
