Hog roast for events for Lower Heyford

Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Lower Heyford are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
