The menu, dish by dish

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening parties in Sway need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why choose a hog roast in Sway?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
