Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

We clear away quietly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Horton, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
