Oakley questions
What’s the nearest station to Oakley?
Overton station, about 3.7 miles west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St John's: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Oakley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
