What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
