DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Evening parties in Shipton-under-Wychwood need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
