Our hog roast hire in SN7

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We’re often asked to cater clubhouse events and wakes and memorial gatherings, with coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

We start with a few details about your event.
We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

What you will pay

For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

A hog roast across SN7: what to know

There are 3 towns and 15 villages and hamlets in SN7, so the setting can be anything from Faringdon, Stanford in the Vale and Uffington to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.

Faringdon: Among the historic houses close to Faringdon are Buscot Park (3 miles north-west) and Kelmscott Manor (3.3 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Faringdon Community College, can book a hog roast stall. Late September evenings in Faringdon lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value.

Space, access and the venue

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Working with your venue

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

The menu, dish by dish

Spit-roast lamb

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Crackling

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

SN7: your questions answered

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Is mains power needed?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

How do we prepare?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
