Hog roast hire for Chipping Norton
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How our hog roast hire works in Chipping Norton
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Chipping Norton, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include corporate events and weddings, day or evening, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Questions from Chipping Norton
Is Chipping Norton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Chipping Norton until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- What the outdoor space is like
