About hog roast hire in OX13
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and salads, and we are frequently booked for work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
What it costs in OX13
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Hog roast hire across OX13
From Caldecott, Kingston Bagpuize and Marcham to 15 villages and hamlets, bookings across OX13 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Kingston Bagpuize: Among the historic houses close to Kingston Bagpuize are Longworth House (1.4 miles north-west) and Appleton Manor (3.3 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Churches such as Church of St John the Baptist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Late September evenings in Kingston Bagpuize lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
What affects the price in OX13

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

What your quote should include
- Plates, china and cutlery
- How many staff will carve and serve
