What else we do in Charlbury
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In December, Charlbury is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
