Your questions about a hog roast day in Oakfield
What’s the nearest station to Oakfield?
Oakfield has its own station: Ryde St Johns Road station.
Can you roast near the sea around Oakfield?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
