About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request thin slices
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Chicken can be added.
How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
