Northend is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Northend to Reading (12 miles away).
Northend is within about 2 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

If your venue is just outside Northend, we also cover Christmas Common (1 mile west), Turville Heath (1 mile south-east), Ibstone (1 mile north-east), Stonor (2 miles south) and Howe Hill (2 miles west).

How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Before you book anyone
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- A clear list of what’s included
- Any travel or access charges
- The space, cover and access they need
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For an evening party in Northend, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Northend: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Northend?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
