Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Great Haseley, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
