Hog roast hire in Cutteslowe, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are often asked to cater community events and christmas fairs, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
There may be a hall or playing field near Cutteslowe if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
See our pricing and the cost guide.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Cutteslowe lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access

Your questions about a hog roast in Cutteslowe
How far is Cutteslowe from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you travel across Oxfordshire?
We cater across Oxfordshire. Ask for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
