Christmas hog roast in Woodstock, slow-roasted on site
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. On the menu are crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and staff Christmas do’s.
At a festive party in Woodstock, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodstock
Is Woodstock close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Woodstock?
Hanborough station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you cover Woodstock?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Woodstock and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Woodstock in December: what to know
Woodstock is about 7 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We cover Woodstock and its neighbours for Christmas parties. Woodstock is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Woodstock to Oxford (8 miles away).
If a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Hanborough station, about 2 miles south-west, is the nearest station.
For Christmas parties in OX20, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Market Street, High Street and Briar Thicket; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Woodstock sits on or near the A44, so getting the roaster to your Christmas party is simple. Other places close to Woodstock we cover include Bladon (1 mile south), Bunkers Hill (2 miles north-east), Shipton-on-Cherwell (2 miles east), Thrupp (2 miles east) and Begbroke (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Oxford (8 miles south-east), Banbury (15 miles north), Bicester (9 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south), Witney (7 miles south-west) and Carterton (12 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum (0.5 miles west).
- Local schools include Marlborough School (within half a mile north-east)
- Local pubs include The Punchbowl Inn (within half a mile west)
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Woodstock comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

What affects the price in Woodstock
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
