Why choose a hog roast in South Hinksey?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in South Hinksey stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
