A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:

We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Spelsbury
- Time on site
- Crockery choices

UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in Spelsbury until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
