Catered or do it yourself?

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Questions from Great Western Park
What’s the nearest station to Great Western Park?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Great Western Park from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
