Book a hog roast in Oldbury
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How our hog roast hire works in Oldbury
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and club events and presentations, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes.
For a rural spot like Oldbury, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By late September, sunset in Oldbury is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Oldbury questions
Can you do a hog roast in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Oldbury close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Among the historic houses close to Oldbury are Ightham Mote (1.9 miles south) and Old Soar Manor (2.4 miles south-east).
