Ducklington questions
Is Ducklington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Ducklington close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base.
Can you cater in Ducklington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Ducklington and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast compared with other options
At the end of a shoot, it is a relaxed way to finish. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
