About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Where the roaster can go in Ash Vale
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from locations
- A safe distance from kit
