Slow-roasted pork in Duddleswell
How our hog roast hire works in Duddleswell
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
In a small place like Duddleswell, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
