A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
- A named contact on the day
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Hyde Heath, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
