- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from the building and any trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See how we price or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
