The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
