Corporate hog roast for Oxford
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
How our corporate hog roast works in Oxford
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater team days and away days and retirements and long-service awards.
For a staff day in Oxford, a car park or grounds is typically ideal. Tell us about access and site rules. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. In Oxford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Oxford
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Shelter for the team
- Access through the site gates
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Oxford
How far is Oxford from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Requirements vary: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
