Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Oakshott suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. We serve and tidy up. Whether it is garden parties and leaving and retirement do’s, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce and more.
In a small place like Oakshott, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Travel to Oakshott
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Oakshott
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Questions from Oakshott
Is Oakshott close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A word with the neighbours
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce

- Halloumi skewers (V)
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Perfect for your party in Oakshott
