About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Bledington questions
What’s the nearest station to Bledington?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater at home?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.

- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
