About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
We serve quickly on the call.

Shooting in North Hinksey: unit bases and access
North Hinksey is about 3 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. From village halls to gardens and fields, shoots around North Hinksey suit a hog roast. We bring hog roasts to all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Oxford station, about 1 mile east. Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (2 miles east) and Appleton Manor (3.9 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in OX2, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Lime Road, Elms Road and Cedar Road, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. North Hinksey sits on or near the A34, which makes travel to your shoot easy. Nearby, we also cater shoots in Harcourt Hill (1 mile south), Osney (1 mile east), Grandpont (1 mile east), Jericho (1 mile north-east) and St John Street area (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Oxford (3 miles east), Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (12 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (5 miles south), Witney (9 miles west) and Carterton (13 miles west).

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast starts early, and in December North Hinksey is dark by about 3:55pm.
