What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why Tattenhoe hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
