What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
