A hog roast near Bampton
Hog roast hire for your event in Bampton
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For Fêtes, fairs and shows and festive gatherings, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads.
For a place the size of Bampton, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Bampton questions
How far is Bampton from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

- What crockery is supplied
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- How many staff will carve and serve
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Bampton, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
