Some homes in Hethe have links with a local church such as Church of St Edmund and George, and a hog roast can be part of a summer fête.
For care home events in OX27, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. From Main Street and Hardwick Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Hethe has light until about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare

FAQs for Hethe
Which station is closest to Hethe?

Is Hethe too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast compared with other options
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
