A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
