Hog roast hire for Weston Otmoor
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Weston Otmoor, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Hog roast hire for your event in Weston Otmoor
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We are often asked to cater staff days and open days and festive gatherings, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Weston Otmoor, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. 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.
FAQs for Weston Otmoor
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
