What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Hog roast hire for your event in Plaistow
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and summer garden parties.
In Plaistow, the roaster might go in a garden, a church car park or a works yard. Tell us how we get the equipment in, including steps, narrow gates and parking for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
