A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Common questions in Sutton Scotney
We are gathering after a service at Ebenezer Methodist Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
