A hog roast near Stanton Harcourt
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.

Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

FAQs for Stanton Harcourt
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Stanton Harcourt?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
