Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Nuneham Courtenay is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.

Before we arrive

What affects the price in Nuneham Courtenay
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Nuneham Courtenay questions
How far is Nuneham Courtenay from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Nuneham Courtenay?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Shelter for crew
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Vehicle access to base
