The process

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Chillenden is about 8:45pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

What a hog roast costs

The biggest factors are:

Plates or china
Season and day of the week
How many people are eating
Menu choices and extras

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Looking after everyone

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

Stuffing normally contains gluten
Halal isn’t offered
Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Include staff and visitors in your numbers
