Questions from Marston
Which station is closest to Marston?
Oxford station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Marston, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
