Hog roast hire in OX7: 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. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are frequently booked for christmas parties and wakes and memorial gatherings.
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Around Chipping Norton
You’ll find our roaster at events near Church of St Mary, Holy Trinity Catholic School and The Bell Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Kingham station, about 4.4 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find Wheelbarrow Castle (3.9 miles north-west) and Chipping Norton Museum (within half a mile north-east).
Planning a hog roast in OX7
From Chipping Norton, Charlbury and Shipton-under-Wychwood to 32 villages and hamlets, bookings across OX7 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Chipping Norton: Nearby historic houses include Chastleton House (4.2 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. For a fundraiser at a school like Chipping Norton School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chipping Norton, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Who carves and who serves
- The full menu and the sides
- Whether VAT is included
What affects the price in OX7
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Common questions in OX7
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
