Party hog roast near Ambrosden
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. On the menu are hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and apple sauce, and we are often booked for summer parties in the garden and milestone birthdays.
In a place like Ambrosden, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. 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.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Ambrosden, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
FAQs for Ambrosden
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

The closest is Bicester Village station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
