FAQs for Sutton Courtenay
How far is Sutton Courtenay from London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Sutton Courtenay?
Appleford station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Hog roast hire in Sutton Courtenay, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For festive gatherings and wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
There may be a hall or playing field near Sutton Courtenay if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Where the roaster can go in Sutton Courtenay
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
