A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Potters Corner, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
