Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Typical bookings include winter open days and end-of-term celebrations, serving roast turkey, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A lunchtime Christmas party in Nuneham Courtenay is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
