How our Christmas hog roast works in Barton
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. Whether it is between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s, we can cook hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
In Barton, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Barton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Barton?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Bury Knowle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. 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.
