About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Autumn and winter afternoons in West End Green get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
