Slow-roasted pork in Great Rollright
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How our hog roast hire works in Great Rollright
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for work summer parties and weddings and receptions.
In a small place like Great Rollright, 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. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast in Great Rollright
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: 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’ll gather.
Is Great Rollright too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
Oxfordshire is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
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.
Do you cover Great Rollright?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Great Rollright, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
