Slow-roasted pork in New Hinksey
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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Party hog roast in New Hinksey, slow-roasted on site
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and leaving and retirement do’s, with a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Around New Hinksey, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in New Hinksey stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.

New Hinksey questions
How far is New Hinksey from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Why choose party hog roast in New Hinksey?
Hardly any clearing up, since we provide plates and tidy up.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around New Hinksey, including:

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
