Where the roaster can go in Chipping Norton
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A lit route to the food
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add dietary questions to the invite
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Christmas parties in Chipping Norton are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
