Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late May, sunset in Burford is about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or OX18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

- Put the menu and allergen information on display

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
