About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
