About our Christmas hog roast in Lower Arncott
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and late-night shopping events.
For a Christmas party near Lower Arncott, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Lower Arncott in December: what to know
Lower Arncott is about 3 miles south-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Lower Arncott and the surrounding area. We cover all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 9 miles away.
If a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Five Acres Primary School, hot rolls go down well.
Anywhere in OX25, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your Christmas party is on Ploughley Road and Willowbrook or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Upper Arncott (1 mile south), Ambrosden (1 mile north), Merton (2 miles west), Murcott (2 miles south-west) and Fencott (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Oxford (9 miles south-west), Bicester (3 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles south-west), Thame (10 miles south-east), Kidlington (8 miles west) and Chinnor (14 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Bicester Community Hospital (3.2 miles north-west) and Bicester Village (2.9 miles north-west). Within reach you’ll find Graven Hill and Woodsides Meadow.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Plough pub (less than half a mile south)
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count who does not eat pork
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For event organisers in Lower Arncott
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Why choose a hog roast in Lower Arncott?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Lower Arncott in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
