Event catering near Bicester
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. Plenty of events in Bicester have both, and we’ll help you decide. Whether it’s school fairs and sports days and care home days, we will put together a menu of salads, pulled pork and hog roast rolls with crackling for your guests.
In a town like Bicester, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days and club events: a hog roast for a wedding, a barbecue for a birthday, both for a fête. All we need is a level spot outdoors to cook. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there is nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
Label cards for vegetarian and vegan food help guests choose.
How we compare with other caterers
Next to a sit-down dinner, hog roast and barbecue food keeps things informal, but it can still be served on plates with sides. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on site by our chef

Is Bicester close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For big events, both works well.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you work with wedding planners and venues?
Yes. We’re happy to agree access, timings and the cooking spot with your venue or planner.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
Not at all. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
