Hog roast hire in Burford
How our hog roast hire works in Burford
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is christmas parties and wakes and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
For a place the size of Burford, your own garden is often the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
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 to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Common questions in Burford
What’s the nearest station to Burford?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
We cater across Oxfordshire, including Burford. Ask for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
