Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Oakfield questions
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
For somewhere as remote as Oakfield, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
