Questions from Great Coxwell
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Great Coxwell?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cater in Great Coxwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Great Coxwell and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wake in Great Coxwell, there is light until about 9:30pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
