Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Common questions in Caldecott
Is Caldecott close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at St Helen's Church?
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.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
Oxfordshire is part of our area, including Caldecott. Get in touch for a price.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Where the roaster can go in Caldecott
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb
- Apple sauce
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast or jacket potatoes
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Who books hog roast hire in Caldecott?

- Christmas fairs
- Clubhouse events

A green space like Albert Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
