How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-December sunset in Turners Hill is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
