Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Blackbird Leys
Is Blackbird Leys close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Family: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you cover Blackbird Leys?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Blackbird Leys and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.

Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
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.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it is light in Blackbird Leys until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
