Shripney questions
How far is Shripney from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Shripney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Is there a non-pork option?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
