Horspath: your questions answered
Is Horspath close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Horspath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take

- Site access
