Common questions in Oakhanger
Do you come out to small places like Oakhanger?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Oakhanger close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
