About our hog roast for events in Hipley
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for village fêtes and agricultural and country shows.
At a field event near Hipley, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
