Sandford-on-Thames: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Sandford-on-Thames?
Radley station, about 2 miles south of the centre.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Why choose a hog roast in Sandford-on-Thames?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
