Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. On the menu are roast potatoes, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and retirement housing events.

Common questions in Ringwould
Is Ringwould too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
