For event organisers in Oving
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Planning an evening hog roast in Oving? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests

Oving: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Oving from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you cover Oving?
Yes, Oving is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
