Hog roast hire for your event in Charlbury
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it is christmas parties and club events and presentations, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw and more.
For a place the size of Charlbury, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evenings in Charlbury stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Why choose a hog roast in Charlbury?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
