What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. A summer party in Mannings Heath stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
