Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Time on site

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and time of the event

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Questions from Oving
Is Oving close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast near the sea around Oving?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
