About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. After-work summer events in Clayton have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
