What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
