Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Long Wittenham hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
