How our hog roast hire works in Iffley
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and summer garden parties, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a place the size of Iffley, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Iffley questions
Is Iffley close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cater across Oxfordshire, including Iffley. Ask for a quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Bringing a hog roast to Iffley
Iffley is about 1 mile south of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Iffley and the surrounding area. Iffley is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater.
If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St James, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Rose Hill Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.
For events in OX4, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. From Tree Lane, Banjo Road and Jersey Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Other places close to Iffley we cover include Cowley (1 mile east), Donnington (1 mile north-west), Littlemore (1 mile south), Blackbird Leys (1 mile south-east) and Redbridge (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Didcot (8 miles south), Bicester (12 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (4 miles south-west), Witney (12 miles west), Thame (11 miles east) and Wantage (13 miles south-west).

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

What affects the price in Iffley
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
How the day works
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. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Iffley, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
