Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Light matters for a long roast: in Hungerford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
