How much does a hog roast cost?

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter afternoons in Twyford are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
