About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Didcot lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
