Little Tew: your questions answered
How far is Little Tew from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Little Tew?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Little Tew and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Autumn and winter afternoons in Little Tew get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
