How our party hog roast works in Hook Norton
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. Typical bookings include family reunions and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a place like Hook Norton, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
What affects the price in Hook Norton
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Hook Norton is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote

Questions from Hook Norton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Hook Norton from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
