How our party hog roast works in Steeple Barton

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Why choose a hog roast in Steeple Barton?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Steeple Barton
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Steeple Barton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

How we price a hog roast for your party
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or OX25 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
