About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
You will not 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.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
