Our hog roast service in Banbury
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross — the nursery rhyme keeps the town's name in every child's head, and the cross itself still stands at the top of the town. Banbury is Oxfordshire's northernmost major town, on the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal, close to where the county meets Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Junction 11 of the M40 sits right beside it, which has made it a strong base for manufacturing, food production and distribution.
Our work here splits between busy industrial sites and the golden ironstone villages that surround the town. Either way we cook on site, carve to order and bring the full spread of salads, breads and sauces, with BBQ and lamb roast menus available alongside.
We cater across Banbury as part of our hog roast catering in Oxfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Banbury
Corporate events around Banbury lean towards factory and warehouse staff days, often with large numbers and fixed break times. Private parties and weddings happen out in the villages — Adderbury, Bloxham, Bodicote, Deddington, Hook Norton, the Sibfords — where stone barns, farmyards and generous gardens give plenty of room. The canal also brings the occasional waterside gathering.
North Oxfordshire lanes can be narrow and hilly towards the Warwickshire border, and some farm sites sit well away from a hard road. Industrial estates near the motorway are easy to reach but tend to have strict vehicle and PPE rules on site.

Catering for company eventsBirthday & private parties
Across the villages, private parties often take place on family land or in the village hall — 50th birthdays, ruby weddings, farewell parties. A whole lamb is a popular alternative to pork for those who want something a little different.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Catering for parties at homeWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Most Banbury events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.
