Hog roast for events in Abingdon-on-Thames
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Abingdon-on-Thames are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
