About our hog roast hire in St Clement's
In St Clement's, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and work summer parties, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
A place like St Clement's frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Common questions in St Clement's
Can you do a hog roast in Headington Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Clement's Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
