Hog roast hire in OX33: what to expect
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re often asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and clubhouse events, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Hog roast catering in OX33: local guide
OX33 covers everything from Wheatley, Horspath and Beckley to 7 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Wheatley: PTAs at schools such as Wheatley Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Garsington Manor (2.5 miles south-west) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (4.9 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Late September evenings in Wheatley lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Occasions we serve in OX33
People remember a hog roast. It is food and a bit of theatre at the same time.
In OX33 and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Wakes
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Clubhouse events
- Weddings and receptions
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The number of people
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Roughly how many people

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
