Book a hog roast in Oxford
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Oxford have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Oxford
Oxford is in Oxfordshire. We take a hog roast for your event to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Oxford and the surrounding area. Oxford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover.
Church fêtes, at churches such as St Clement's Church, are a natural home for a hog roast. PTAs at schools such as East Oxford Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall.
For events in OX4, OX3, OX2 and OX1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. Whether your event is on High Street, New High Street and Radcliffe Square or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. You will find Oxford on the A34 and A40, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside Oxford, we also cover St Clement's (1 mile west), Headington Hill (1 mile north-east), New Marston (1 mile north), Donnington (1 mile south) and St. Ebbes (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-west), Witney (11 miles west), Thame (11 miles east) and Wantage (14 miles south-west). Oxford is among the bigger towns we cover in Oxfordshire, with plenty of venues for events.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time

What do people get?
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.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
