People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late September evenings in Dry Sandford lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning help
Events we cater in Dry Sandford
Slow roasting can’t be faked: tender pork and proper crackling.
However big or small the event in Dry Sandford, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Sports clubs and societies
- Weddings and receptions
- Christmas parties
- Community events
If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Helen, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether travel is included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
