Common questions in Chipping Norton
How far is Chipping Norton from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you cover Chipping Norton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
