Fairs, fêtes and events in Osney
Osney is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Events in Osney are part of our patch. We cover 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Frideswide's Church, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If your event is in Raleigh Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles.
For events in OX1 and OX2, we just need to know where the roaster can cook.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Site access
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-May events in Osney have light until about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Osney: your questions answered
How far is Osney from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Osney?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
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.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater in Osney?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
