- Share the date, site and expected crowds.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We clear the pitch and take everything away.

We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
