The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Chicken widens the choice.

- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
