Hog roast hire in Aston Rowant, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve hog roast rolls, new potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for corporate events and christmas fairs.
In a rural place like Aston Rowant, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Aston Rowant, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
