Our hog roast hire in OX44

We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for community events and clubhouse events.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Cost

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Why book with us

  • Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
  • An itemised quote
  • Choices for people who don’t eat pork
  • All the equipment comes with us

Hog roast hire across OX44

OX44 covers everything from Chalgrove, Garsington and Little Milton to 11 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.

Chalgrove: Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (4 miles north-east) and Garsington Manor (4.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Chalgrove Community Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Chalgrove, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value.

Allergies and dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed

You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Should I cook it myself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

FAQs for OX44

Is crackling included?

Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

Do you serve the food?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Can you do gluten-free?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What if things run late?

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
