Why choose a hog roast in Widmer End?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Widmer End until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
