What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Sandleford questions
Can you do a hog roast in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Sandleford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and usually better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our pricing and the cost guide.
