Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Oakfield?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Oakfield itself.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you come to Oakfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Oakfield and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal isn’t available.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Ask about china.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. 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, and the quote reflects that.
