About our hog roast hire in Bladon
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it’s birthdays and anniversaries and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls and more.
Somewhere as small as Bladon, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

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. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Your questions about a hog roast in Bladon
Which station is closest to Bladon?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater after a service at St Martin's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: around Bladon, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, 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 arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Parking near the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
