Planning a party in Beckley
Beckley is about 4 miles north-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Beckley, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We bring hog roasts to 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
A green space like Katie and George Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. A christening at Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan.
Here we cover the OX3 and OX33 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include High Street, Sandpath and New Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Beckley we cover include Stanton St John (1 mile south-east), Barton (2 miles south), Forest Hill (2 miles south-east), Risinghurst (2 miles south) and Shotover Hill (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (4 miles south-west), Didcot (13 miles south), Bicester (8 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (9 miles south-west), Witney (13 miles west) and Thame (10 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Oxford Castle (4.6 miles south-west) and Churchill Hospital (2.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Otmoor RSPB reserve and Shotover.
- Local pubs include The Abingdon Arms Public House (under half a mile north-west)

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Occasions we serve in Beckley
Children normally love it, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
People around Beckley book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Reunions

Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (3.9 miles south-west) and Boarstall Tower (4.1 miles north-east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.
What to look for in a quote

- A clear list of what’s included
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A summer party in Beckley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Common questions in Beckley
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
