What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

How we price a hog roast for your team
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
