Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you come to Kidlington?

Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
