Questions from Boxford
Which station is closest to Boxford?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. For a summer hog roast day in Boxford, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
