Questions from Grimsbury
Which station is closest to Grimsbury?
Grimsbury has its own station: Banbury station.
Can you do a hog roast in People's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need much space at base?
Generally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Summer shoots near Grimsbury have light until about 9:30pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
How to get a price
