About our hog roast hire in Finstock
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it’s wakes and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
In a small place like Finstock, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why choose a hog roast in Finstock?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Finstock questions
Which station is closest to Finstock?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
All of Oxfordshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?

Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Finstock
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late September evenings in Finstock lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
