What else we do in Wroxton
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
