What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A safe distance from the hall
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Add chicken as an alternative.
