Sunnymead questions
Is Sunnymead close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Thinking of a hog roast in Oxford University Parks? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.
Comparing caterers
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Whether travel is included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether VAT is included
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

- Choices for people who do not eat pork

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Sunnymead, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
