Slow-roasted pork in Oxford
Oxford: your questions answered
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Clement's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Parties in Oxford: homes, halls and local tips
Oxford is in Oxfordshire. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around Oxford suit a hog roast. We cater all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire.
A christening at St Clement's Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. A green space like South Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over the OX4, OX3, OX2 and OX1 postcode area. From High Street, New High Street and Radcliffe Square or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Oxford sits on or near the A34 and A40, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Oxford, we also cover St Clement's (1 mile west), Headington Hill (1 mile north-east), New Marston (1 mile north), Donnington (1 mile south) and St. Ebbes (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-west), Witney (11 miles west), Thame (11 miles east) and Wantage (14 miles south-west). Oxford is among the bigger towns we cover in Oxfordshire, with lots of choice for parties.
Other landmarks nearby include Warneford Hospital (within half a mile east) and Rumble Museum (less than half a mile east). Open spaces near Oxford include CS Lewis Nature Reserve and Headington Hill.
- Local schools include Cheney School (less than half a mile east) and Headington Rye Oxford (0.6 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Star pub (under half a mile west)
- Other local spots include Alexander Library of Ornithology (0.6 miles west)

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Oxford
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
