How hog roast hire works in Oxfordshire

The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Oxfordshire, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and gatherings after a funeral, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling.

Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.

A hog roast across Oxfordshire: what to know

Oxfordshire covers everything from Oxford, Banbury and Didcot to 358 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The Chilterns National Landscape and the North Wessex Downs National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Oxfordshire, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Oxford: Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.8 miles north-west) and Garsington Manor (4.1 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west. Planning an evening hog roast in Oxford? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Planners, venues and businesses

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

Should I cook it myself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
