What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
