The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Womenswold questions
Is Womenswold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Womenswold?
The closest is Snowdown station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
