For over 60 years, Witmer Fire Protective Association has held Ox Roasts as a major fundraiser to fund our operations. We typically hold three Ox Roasts per year. The second Saturday in February, third, fourth (traditionally) or fifth Saturday in April (possible change due to Easter holiday) and the third Saturday in October.
Almost all food is made on site, and all meals are currently drive-thru take-out. Our Ox Roasts are known the nation over for providing a good hearty meal to all those who come to enjoy it. We have regular customers from across the street, as well as the states of PA, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, New York and beyond (sometimes even Florida!) We even have people pick up an extra take-out or two to enjoy later!
Our menu includes:
Fresh, Slow Cooked Beef
Homemade Filling
Home Cooked Potatoes
Lancaster County Sweet Corn
Homemade Gravy
Locally Made Rolls & Butter
Cole Slaw
Peaches
Locally Made Desserts
and More!
Our Ox Roasts are great for families, destination clubs/groups, day trips, or lunch/dinner on a whim!
