Choosing caterers in Oxford
Not sure which to choose? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Many events have both. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Event catering near Oxford
Unlike kitchen-based caterers, we cook outdoors at your venue. In Oxford, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees. Typical bookings include wakes and gatherings after a funeral and residents’ days, serving hog roast rolls with crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Some venues in Oxford only allow approved caterers, so ask your venue early. Private gardens and clubs rarely have that problem. We cater the food, cooked on site, whether it is a hog roast, a barbecue or both.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so you do not need to borrow anything for the cooking.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Before you choose a spot
Gardens, yards, car parks and fields can all work if a few things are right. Check these:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Oxford
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Oxford close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do small parties?
Share your numbers and we’ll suggest the right menu.
Can you feed a big crowd?
A hog roast is made for big groups. Tell us about the event and we’ll quote.
Do you supply china?
Plates come as standard, with china available on request, quoted separately.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No. We cook outdoors under cover: we just need a level, open spot outside.
Which menu suits our event?
That depends on who’s coming: if most eat pork and you want a centrepiece, a hog roast; if you want variety, a barbecue. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest one.
How soon do dates go?
Summer Saturdays and December go first, so ask early. Midweek dates are often easier. Fill in our quote form.
