The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Hog roast hire for your event in Firgo
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and gatherings after a funeral.
In a rural place like Firgo, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Firgo, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
