For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Dry Sandford, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
