How our party hog roast works in Oakley
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and we are often booked for leaving and retirement do’s and reunions.
A country party near Oakley is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers

Oakley questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Oakley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Oakley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
