The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

Common questions in Outwood
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Outwood?
The closest is Salfords station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
