Farthingloe questions
Can you roast near the sea around Farthingloe?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Farthingloe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
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.
