Hog roast hire across OX26
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in OX26: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and milestone birthdays, serving hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken.
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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

A hog roast across OX26: what to know
From Bicester, Bure Park and Launton to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across OX26 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Bicester: PTAs at schools such as Brookside Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. For guests coming by train, Bicester North station serves Bicester directly. Light matters for a long roast: in Bicester, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
The menu, dish by dish

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
