Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Cliffe questions
How far is Cliffe from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Cliffe?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Contact us.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Details of what the event requires
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
