Common questions in Coxford
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Coxford close to London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
