Near Forest Hill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Parties in Forest Hill: homes, halls and local tips
Forest Hill is about 3 miles east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Forest Hill is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. We bring hog roasts to 443 places across Oxfordshire.
Among the historic houses close to Forest Hill are Garsington Manor (3.6 miles south) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. If you had Shotover Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
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.
For event organisers in Forest Hill
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A heads-up for next door
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Forest Hill questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you cover Forest Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Forest Hill and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How we price a hog roast for your party

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
