A hog roast near Murcott
Murcott questions
Is Murcott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Murcott?
Islip station, about 3.7 miles west of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Hog roast hire in Murcott, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Murcott: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
For a rural spot like Murcott, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Light matters for a long roast: around Murcott, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
