Party hog roast in Upper Heyford, carved to order
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for christenings and wedding anniversaries.
In a place like Upper Heyford, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Upper Heyford?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Where the roaster can go in Upper Heyford
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat

The process

A summer party in Upper Heyford stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day

- Give us final numbers a week or so before
