Corporate hog roast in Didcot, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Typical bookings include site open days and client hospitality, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
A staff treat in the yard in Didcot is easy with a hog roast, as long as the site allows gas cooking. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. After-work summer events in Didcot have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

What’s the nearest station to Didcot?
Didcot Parkway station, in Didcot itself.
Do you cover Didcot?

What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
When do you start roasting?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need a car park?
