How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A lunchtime Christmas party in Wolvercote is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Crackling

Wolvercote questions
Is Wolvercote too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wolvercote close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What happens if it is dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast compared with other options

Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
