What else we do in Wolvercote
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Wolvercote?

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Wolvercote need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Wolvercote
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Wolvercote questions
Which station is closest to Wolvercote?
Oxford Parkway station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Wolvercote?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
