About hog roast hire in OX25
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and clubhouse events.
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you will pay
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Hog roast hire across OX25
OX25 covers everything from Upper Heyford, Ambrosden and Launton to 19 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Upper Heyford: Coming by train? Heyford station, about 1.8 miles west, is the nearest station. After a service at Heyford Park Chapel, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. By late September, sunset in Upper Heyford is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Parking near the spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Common questions in OX25
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
We cater across Oxfordshire. Get in touch for a price.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
