Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. After-work summer events in Shipton-on-Cherwell have light until about 9:30pm at midsummer and 9:00pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
