If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Osney questions
Which station is closest to Osney?
Oxford station, in Osney itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?

Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. After-work summer events in Osney have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 9:00pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
