How hog roast hire works in OX39
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in OX39, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, serving salads, new potatoes and crackling.
A typical booking goes like this: 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.
- 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 set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What it costs in OX39

A hog roast across OX39: what to know
There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in OX39, so whether your event is in Chinnor, Oakley and Kingston Blount or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of OX39 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Chinnor: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Princes Risborough station, about 3.1 miles north-east. Late September evenings in Chinnor lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why a hog roast works
Most people love roast pork and crackling, and there are alternatives for everyone else.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Wakes
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Corporate events
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

For event organisers in OX39

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
