Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Radley station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
