Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September sunset in Aldworth is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
