The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Ascott-under-Wychwood, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
