A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

- A spot that keeps access clear
