Sunnymead: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

What affects the price in Sunnymead
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or OX2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
