Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Uffington, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

FAQs for Uffington
How far is Uffington from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
