New Marston: your questions answered
How far is New Marston from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Headington Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Halal isn’t offered
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In New Marston, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
