Planning an event in Wootton?
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Wootton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Common questions in Wootton
Is Wootton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
Oxfordshire is part of our area, including Wootton. Get in touch for a price.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
