Hog roast hire for your event in Banbury
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Banbury. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for festive gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries.
Gardens in Banbury vary a lot, and most can take a roaster if there’s side access and clearance. A nearby hall or club is a good alternative. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Hog roast hire around Banbury
Banbury is in Oxfordshire. Hosts in Banbury book us for events of all sizes. Banbury is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 22 miles away.
For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Saint Paul's, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Historic houses near Banbury include Broughton Castle (2.5 miles south-west) and Wardington Manor (4.3 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking.
For events in OX16 and OX17, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, Market Place and Grimsbury Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Banbury sits on or near the A361 and A422, which makes travel to your event easy. We also bring hog roasts to events in Neithrop (1 mile west), Ruscote (1 mile west), Grimsbury (1 mile east), Drayton (1 mile north-west) and North Newington (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bicester (14 miles south-east), Bure Park (13 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (12 miles south-west), Woodstock (15 miles south), Bloxham (3 miles south) and Charlbury (14 miles south-west). Being one of Oxfordshire’s larger places, Banbury has lots of places with room for a hog roast.

What happens on the day

What affects the price in Banbury
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
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
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Questions from Banbury
We are gathering after a service at Saint Paul's: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

About 66 miles from central London.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

We cater across Oxfordshire. Ask for a quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

What else we do in Banbury
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
