Other occasions in Dormansland
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Give us a contact on site for the day.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
