How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Autumn and winter afternoons in Fifield get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
If the service runs late, we wait.
