What else we do in Shutford
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
For event organisers in Shutford
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
