Oakley Green: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at All Saints?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Oakley Green?
The closest is Windsor & Eton Central station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is it a sit-down meal?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Oakley Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
