Oakley: your questions answered
Is Oakley close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we will respond.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

What else we do in Oakley
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
