What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
About our hog roast hire in Offham
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it is village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
For a rural spot like Offham, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Roughly how many people
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
