What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal is not offered
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

Tuesley: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Tuesley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
