What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- 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.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Oving: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Oving?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Evening parties in Oving need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

For event organisers in Oving
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
