What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

Can you come to a school fair in West Hagbourne?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
