Common questions in Binsey
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Binsey?
Oxford station, about 1.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Binsey, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Binsey hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
