How our party hog roast works in Lower Assendon

- Served at the time you choose
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Lower Assendon questions
Is Lower Assendon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Anne: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you cover Lower Assendon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Lower Assendon and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
