What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
