Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Questions from Burford
Which station is closest to Burford?
Shipton station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it is light in Burford until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
