For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Common questions in Pusey
Is Pusey too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater in Pusey?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Pusey and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

A hog roast or other catering?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wake in Pusey, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
