  2. We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.

About the food

Crackling

Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Is a hog roast right for you?

A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too.
