Our hog roast hire in OX49
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 are frequently asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and parties at home, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Cost
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Around Watlington
Locally, our bookings take us close to Royal Oak pub, St Mary's Church and Icknield Community College. Nearby too are Watlington Primary School (under half a mile north) and Church of St Leonard (less than half a mile north-west). Within reach you will find Aston Rowant NNR and Bald Hill.
Planning a hog roast in OX49
There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in OX49, so whether your event is in Watlington, Aston Rowant and Lewknor or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across OX49, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Watlington: Among the historic houses close to Watlington are Adwell House (3.2 miles north) and Stonor Park (4.8 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. PTAs at schools such as Watlington Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. In Watlington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot

- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
For event organisers in OX49
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
