How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Cogges. Around midsummer it stays light in Cogges until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Questions from Cogges
How far is Cogges from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cater across Oxfordshire, including Cogges. Contact us for a price.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
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. A picture helps.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
