About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
