Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space inside for guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Autumn and winter afternoons in Wadwick get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
