Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Common questions in Milton-under-Wychwood
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Simon and St Jude: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Milton-under-Wychwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

What if the service runs late?

What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
