A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
