Hog roast hire in Begbroke, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and wakes.

Your questions about a hog roast in Begbroke
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Philip: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Begbroke?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
