About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Occasions we serve in Shacklewell
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Shacklewell is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
