How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
How our party hog roast works in Woodstock
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. We’re frequently asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and christenings, with a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a party in Woodstock, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your party. A summer party in Woodstock stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day

Common questions in Woodstock
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Woodstock from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
