What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
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.

The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Salehurst, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Getting a price

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
