The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level spot in the garden or car park

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book our hog roast in Water Eaton

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Water Eaton goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
