A hog roast near Leafield
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn and winter afternoons in Leafield get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- 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.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

About our funeral wake catering in Leafield
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and wakes in village halls.
For a wake near Leafield, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Leafield: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Leafield?
The closest is Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you wait?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
