DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Occasions we serve in Godstow
It copes with an all-day event, serving through the agreed hours.
People around Godstow book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
