Cutteslowe: 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 do not allow cooking. Ask 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 usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Do you come to Cutteslowe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Cutteslowe and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Working with your venue
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.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
