About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Astwood, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
