Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Beare Green
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
