How hog roast hire works in OX28
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include corporate events and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with hog roast rolls, crackling and new potatoes.
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- 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.
What it costs in OX28
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Hog roast hire across OX28
OX28 covers everything from Witney, Cogges and Madley Park to 0 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.
Witney: Churches such as Witney Congregational Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Historic houses near Witney include Minster Lovell Hall (1.9 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Witney, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
