Party hog roast for Oakridge
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.

About our party hog roast in Oakridge
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are jacket potatoes, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for summer parties in the garden and wedding anniversaries.
For a party in Oakridge, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Oakridge until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or RG21 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.

FAQs for Oakridge
We’re gathering after a service at Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
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.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
