The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

How our hog roast for events works in West Clandon
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. Whether it’s community events and small festivals, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Near West Clandon, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
