How hog roast hire works in OX9
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are new potatoes, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and clubhouse events.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Pricing in OX9
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why hosts in OX9 choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

A hog roast across OX9: what to know
There are 3 towns and 10 villages and hamlets in OX9, so whether your event is in Thame, Tetsworth and Postcombe or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Thame: PTAs at schools such as Barley Hill Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (3.9 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. In Thame, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Who books hog roast hire?
For big gatherings in OX9, a hog roast is hard to beat: one roast feeds a crowd, and the carving is part of the event.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near OX9, including:
- Wakes
- Christmas fairs
- Sports clubs and societies
- Weddings and receptions
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

OX9 questions
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
