How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Curbridge, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare

Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
