Christmas hog roast in Oxfordshire: what to expect

We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are roast potatoes, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for late-night shopping events and winter open days.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

Book early for December.
We check your venue and send a quote.

Cost

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Christmas across Oxfordshire: what to know

Across Oxfordshire, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Tell us about lighting and access. 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: The A34 and A40 make Oxford easy to reach on a dark winter evening. A winter fair at a school like East Oxford Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Late-December sunset in Oxford comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

What the cooking area needs

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

Light by the serving table
A level outdoor area that can be lit
Hardstanding if possible in winter

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Why a hog roast works

Guests can eat standing up and keep chatting.

Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:

Sports club Christmas do’s
Work Christmas parties
Festive open evenings
Late-night shopping events

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

The biggest factors are:

How many people are eating
The serving time and how long we are on site
Travel to Oxfordshire
Plates or china

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What to tell us

These are the details we need:

Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Any venue rules
Your date and serving time
Dietary requirements

It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Common questions in Oxfordshire

Is it too cold for a hog roast?

We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.

How big a hog will we need?

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

What happens if it’s dark?

After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.

Do we need our own staff?

No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
