About our hog roast for events in Bletchingdon
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater fun runs and sports events and fundraising events.
A fête near Bletchingdon might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Bletchingdon questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Bletchingdon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Which station is closest to Bletchingdon?
Tackley station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

- VAT, if it applies
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Bletchingdon lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
