FAQs for Stanton Harcourt
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Stanton Harcourt too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you come to Stanton Harcourt?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Stanton Harcourt and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
