About our party hog roast in Osney
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Whether it is naming ceremonies and street parties, we can cook jacket potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken and more.
Parties around Osney are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an evening party in Osney, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

- Travel to Osney

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the roaster can go in Osney
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Osney
Can you cater after a service at St Frideswide's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
Why choose a hog roast in Osney?
