For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Autumn parties in Stanton St John get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Parties in Stanton St John: homes, halls and local tips
Stanton St John is about 4 miles north-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Stanton St John, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire.
Historic houses near Stanton St John include Holywell Manor, Oxford (4 miles south-west) and Boarstall Tower (4.1 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. If you had Katie and George Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
For parties in OX33, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a party in a garden on Mill Street, Church Close and Cox Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Forest Hill (1 mile south), Beckley (1 mile north-west), Barton (2 miles south-west), Risinghurst (2 miles south-west) and Holton (2 miles south-east).

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
