Hog roast for events in Forest Hill
For event organisers in Forest Hill
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Hog roast for events in Forest Hill, slow-roasted on site
Charity fundraisers in Forest Hill can use a hog roast to draw people in. We’ll talk through options with you. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for community days and street fairs and food and music festivals.
At a fête or show near Forest Hill, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Forest Hill: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Forest Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Forest Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Running an event in Forest Hill
Forest Hill is about 3 miles east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Forest Hill and the surrounding area. Forest Hill is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cater.
Events in parks such as Shotover Country Park need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles. Running a fête for a church like Church of St Nicholas? A hog roast draws people in.
For events in OX33, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. That could mean an event in a garden on Main Street, Milton Crescent and Powell Close or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Holton (1 mile south-east), Stanton St John (1 mile north), Littleworth (1 mile south), Risinghurst (2 miles west) and Wheatley (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (3 miles west), Didcot (11 miles south), Bicester (9 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles south-west), Witney (14 miles west) and Thame (8 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Waterperry Gardens Rural Museum (2.9 miles east) and Templars Square (3.5 miles south-west). The countryside around Forest Hill includes CS Lewis Nature Reserve and Shotover.
- Local schools include Wheatley Park School (1.1 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Kings Arm's Public House (within half a mile north-east)
Where the roaster can go in Forest Hill
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
- Event approval for hot-food traders

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Forest Hill is about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
