Hog roast hire across Oxfordshire

It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for work summer parties and gatherings after a funeral.

Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

We start with a few details about your event.

Prices in Oxfordshire

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Hog roast catering in Oxfordshire: local guide

Across Oxfordshire, we cover 9 towns and 358 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Oxford, Banbury and Didcot or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. The Chilterns National Landscape and the North Wessex Downs National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Oxfordshire, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

Oxford: If you had South Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west. Around midsummer it stays light in Oxford until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

A hog roast or other catering?

Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.

Why a hog roast works

A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.

These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near Oxfordshire:

Weddings, day or evening
Gatherings after a funeral
Milestone birthdays
Garden parties and barbecues

Planners, venues and businesses

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.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

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.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Add a dietary question to your invitations
Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

Questions from Oxfordshire

What do you need from us on the day?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

How much will it be?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Will people get crackling?

Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

When do you start roasting?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Can you work around our timings?

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Do you cover Oxfordshire?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
