The menu, dish by dish

Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer hog roast day in Woodford Bridge, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
