What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
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.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around West Ashling, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
