Slow-roasted pork in Foscot
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Hog roast hire in Foscot, slow-roasted on site
People book a hog roast in Foscot for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. For wakes and garden parties and barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Foscot, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Planning a hog roast in Foscot
Foscot is about 9 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Foscot, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Foscot is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Foscot to Oxford (about 20 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Leonard rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Bledington Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
Wherever your event is in OX7, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Station Road and Old Burford Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover events in Idbury (2 miles south-west), Fifield (2 miles south), Milton-under-Wychwood (3 miles south), Fulbrook (6 miles south) and Little Barrington (6 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Witney (10 miles south-east), Carterton (9 miles south), Chipping Norton (5 miles north-east), Woodstock (13 miles east), Cogges (10 miles south-east) and Bloxham (14 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Moore Cottage Hospital (5 miles west).
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Foscot, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Foscot questions
Which station is closest to Foscot?
Kingham station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
