Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Wallingford
Can you cater after a service at St Mary-le-More?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Can you cater in Wallingford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Site access
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
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Wallingford until about 9:25pm, 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.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
