Our hog roast hire in OX16

A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in OX16. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We are frequently asked to cater festive gatherings and summer garden parties, serving salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.

On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

A hog roast across OX16: what to know

There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in OX16, so the setting can be anything from Banbury, Neithrop and Grimsbury to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.

Banbury: For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Banbury station, roughly 0.8 miles east of the centre. Among the historic houses close to Banbury are Broughton Castle (2.5 miles south-west) and Wardington Manor (4.3 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Around midsummer it stays light in Banbury until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Looking after everyone

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
  • A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Occasions we serve in OX16

You can taste the hours of roasting: tender pork and proper crackling, carved fresh for every roll.

A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:

  • Big birthdays and anniversaries
  • Staff days and open days
  • Club events and presentations
  • Parties at home

DIY versus a catered hog roast

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What affects the price in OX16

We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • How many people are eating
  • Season and day of the week
  • Travel to OX16

For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we need to know

To check the date and the space, we will need:

  • Roughly how many people
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Which meats and sides you’d like

To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from OX16

What if it rains?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Do you come to OX16?

Yes, OX16 is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.

Is our garden big enough?

Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.

Is crackling included?

It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Do you cook it or do we?

You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
  • Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
