How hog roast hire works in OX15
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs.
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Cost
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

The nearest railway station is Banbury station, about 3.5 miles north-east.

Planning a hog roast in OX15
Across OX15, we cover 3 towns and 31 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Neithrop, Grimsbury and Ruscote to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Bloxham: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Banbury station, roughly 3.5 miles north-east of the centre. Around midsummer it stays light in Bloxham until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking 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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
What your quote should include
- Any travel or access charges
- What crockery is supplied
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Common questions in OX15
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
