Hog roast hire for Leafield
Hog roast hire in Leafield, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For staff days and open days and wakes and memorial gatherings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.
For a rural spot like Leafield, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Leafield
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Leafield, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- 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 pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
