About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A lit route to the food
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast turkey
- Crackling
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
