What we serve, dish by dish

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Why choose a hog roast in Stroud?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
