A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access to base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A named contact at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
