About our hog roast hire in Westcot
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and new potatoes.
In a small place like Westcot, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in Westcot stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests

Westcot: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Westcot close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Westcot hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Westcot
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
