DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

FAQs for New Marston
Can you do a hog roast in Headington Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
