A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in Martyr Worthy lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
