Wytham: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Wytham from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wake in Wytham, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
