About the food
Beef brisket
Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
For event organisers in Whitwell
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What else we do in Whitwell
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
