Our hog roast service in Bicester
Few Oxfordshire towns have changed as quickly as Bicester. An old market town with a long military connection — the army garrison and its depots lie just to the south — it has become one of the fastest-growing places in the county, with large new neighbourhoods such as Kingsmere and the eco-development to the north-west. Two railway stations link it to Oxford and London Marylebone, the M40 passes the eastern edge, and the retail village on the outskirts draws visitors from all over.
All that growth means lots of young families, new employers and fresh community groups. We serve hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs across the town and its villages, cooked and carved on site with sides, sauces and staff included.
We cater across Bicester as part of our hog roast catering in Oxfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our our hog roast service page.
Where we cater in Bicester
Warehousing and distribution near the motorway junctions provide a good slice of our Bicester corporate work, often with shift-based staff days. The garrison community has its own family and social events. On the private side, newer estates bring children's parties, christenings and neighbourhood barbecues, while older villages — Launton, Ambrosden, Chesterton, Kirtlington, Weston-on-the-Green — keep up fetes, cricket matches and marquee parties.
New-build gardens are often compact, so we'll check space before recommending a full roasting machine. Industrial sites near the M40 are the reverse: plenty of hard standing but usually a sign-in process and site rules.

BBQ catering in Bicester
A BBQ gives guests something a hog roast can't: choice. We run commercial grills in Bicester for work events, family parties and club days, cooking burgers, sausages, marinated chicken, halloumi and plant-based options as the queue moves.
Shift-based warehouse staff days around Bicester suit our BBQ well, as burgers, sausages and chicken can be cooked continuously for each wave of people.

Events we cater in Bicester
Wedding hog roasts
Bicester couples frequently marry at farm and barn venues in the surrounding Cherwell villages. A hog roast with a whole lamb gives a generous, informal wedding breakfast, and it keeps well for evening rolls when more guests arrive.
Wedding hog roast cateringCorporate events
Logistics and industrial firms here often need food served in several windows to catch every shift. We keep the roast going, run a BBQ alongside when numbers are high, and handle inductions and paperwork in advance.
Corporate hog roast and BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Children's parties, christenings and first birthdays are big in Bicester given the number of young families. A BBQ menu with a few kid-friendly choices sits nicely beside a small hog roast for the grown-ups.

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.
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
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
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 Bicester 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.

Hog roast FAQs for Bicester
Our garden on a new estate in Bicester is quite small. What would you suggest?
A BBQ set-up or a smaller roast often fits where a full machine won't. Send us rough measurements and access details — side gate width especially — and we'll recommend what works.
Can you serve food across several shifts at a Bicester distribution site?
Yes. Tell us the shift times and numbers per shift. We can keep the roast and BBQ going across a longer window so each group gets hot, freshly carved food.
What do you need from us on the day?
A reasonably level area for our equipment, a route we can wheel it along, and somewhere to park nearby. We'll ask about access, gates and venue rules when you enquire — our outdoor catering checklist covers the rest.
