Somerton: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
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.
Which station is closest to Somerton?
The closest is Heyford station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

After a christening at a church like Church of St James, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
What the cooking area needs

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an evening party in Somerton, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
