About hog roast hire in OX3
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and work summer parties, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear 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.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast catering in OX3: local guide
OX3 covers everything from Oxford, Headington Quarry and Headington to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Headington Quarry: Churches such as Holy Trinity Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. Coming by train? Oxford station is about 3 miles away. In Headington Quarry, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for you?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Questions to ask before booking
- Allergen information for every dish
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Travel and any London charges
- Whether plates or china are included
For event organisers in OX3
