Hog roast hire in Blenheim
Blenheim: venues, access and local tips
Blenheim is about 4 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We cater events of every size in Blenheim. Blenheim is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater.
For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Nearby historic houses include Garsington Manor (0.5 miles south) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4.6 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking.
For events in OX44, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Wheatley Road and North Manor; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater events in Garsington (1 mile west), Denton (1 mile east), Cuddesdon (1 mile east), Horspath (1 mile north-west) and Littleworth (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (4 miles north-west), Didcot (9 miles south-west), Bicester (13 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-west), Witney (15 miles west) and Thame (8 miles east).
A little further out are British Tattoo History Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Oxford Castle (5 miles north-west). Within reach you will find Wells Farm and Shotover.
- Local schools include Wheatley Park School (2.5 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find Red Lion pub (within half a mile south-west)
- Local facilities include Library Farmhouse (less than half a mile south-west)
Hog roast hire in Blenheim, carved to order
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Blenheim, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include work summer parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving coleslaw, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Blenheim, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. By late September, sunset in Blenheim is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
