Why choose a hog roast in Wolvercote?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Wolvercote
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Hog roast hire in Wolvercote, carved to order
In Wolvercote, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and gatherings after a funeral, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In a hamlet or village like Wolvercote, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Wolvercote, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
