Hog roast hire in Jericho, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is clubhouse events and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of crackling, salads and new potatoes and more.
A place like Jericho often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Jericho hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose

A hog roast in Jericho: local details
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We cater events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Jericho. Jericho is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover.
Within reach of Jericho are historic houses such as Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.9 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. A green space like Oxford University Parks is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in OX1 and OX2, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. You’ll find Jericho on the A4144, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in Walton Manor (1 mile north), St John Street area (1 mile south-east), Park Town (1 mile north-east), Norham Manor (1 mile north-east) and Osney (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Oxford University Press Museum (within half a mile south-east) and Clarendon Shopping Centre (0.7 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Harcourt Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Eckersley School of English (0.5 miles south-east) and Oxford Academy (1.1 miles north)

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Your questions about a hog roast in Jericho
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at St Barnabas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you come to Jericho?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Jericho and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
