Slow-roasted pork in Launton
How our corporate hog roast works in Launton
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. For team days and away days and client and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb for your staff.
Near Launton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Launton questions
Is Launton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Launton?
Bicester North station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Launton normally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
