Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Which station is closest to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Could you cook in The Bull Croft?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
