What’s the nearest station to Hoaden?
Minster station, about 4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?

Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
For event organisers in Hoaden
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
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.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
