A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us

How our hog roast hire works in Burcot
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and summer garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Burcot, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where the roaster can go in Burcot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Burcot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Your questions about a hog roast in Burcot
Could you cook in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Mary and Saint Berin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
