Common questions in North Oxford
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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 will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
