Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Steventon
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

FAQs for Steventon
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Steventon from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
All of Oxfordshire is in our area. Tell us the venue for a quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why choose a hog roast in Steventon?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
