Catered or do it yourself?

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. After-work summer events in West Hythe have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
