Party hog roast in Garsington, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. We serve apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for anniversary parties and big family get-togethers.
Near Garsington, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Garsington
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Travel to Garsington
- Numbers
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
