The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
