Hog roast for events in Fringford
How our hog roast for events works in Fringford
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We are frequently asked to cater agricultural and country shows and town and village days, serving apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural events near Fringford can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Fringford questions
Which station is closest to Fringford?
Bicester North station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.
Is Fringford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or OX27 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Fringford, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare

A hog roast compared with other options

What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
