How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
About our party hog roast in Grandpont
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for big family get-togethers and engagement celebrations.
For a party in Grandpont, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Grandpont parties: what to know
Grandpont is about 1 mile west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Grandpont and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We bring hog roasts to all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Thinking of a hog roast in Raleigh Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Matthew's, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
For parties in OX1 and OX2, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include New Road, Shoe Lane and Osney Lane, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A420, Grandpont is easy for us to reach. If your venue is just outside Grandpont, we also cover St. Ebbes (1 mile north), New Hinksey (1 mile south-east), Osney (1 mile north-west), St John Street area (1 mile north) and South Hinksey (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Didcot (9 miles south), Bicester (12 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (5 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (12 miles east).
A little further out are Radcliffe Infirmary (1.1 miles north) and Westgate Shopping Centre (less than half a mile north). Within reach you will find Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Harcourt Hill.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Grandpont stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
