About hog roast hire in OX2
In OX2, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and club events and presentations.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Cost
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planning a hog roast in OX2
There are 3 towns and 10 villages and hamlets in OX2, so the setting can be anything from Oxford, St John Street area and St. Ebbes to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Walton Manor: Within reach of Walton Manor are historic houses such as Holywell Manor, Oxford (1 mile south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 0.7 miles south of the centre. Late September evenings in Walton Manor lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
