Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Long Hanborough
Is Long Hanborough close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cater in Long Hanborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Long Hanborough and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A summer party in Long Hanborough stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
