About hog roast hire in OX4
In OX4, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for wakes and summer garden parties.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

Hog roast hire across OX4
OX4 covers everything from Oxford, Cowley and Blackbird Leys to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Oxford: After a service at St Clement's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 1.6 miles west of the centre. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Oxford, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
What your quote should include
- VAT, if it applies
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
OX4 questions
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you cater in OX4?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including OX4 and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
