Common questions in Oxley's Green
How far is Oxley's Green from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket: can you cater?
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.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Oxley's Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
