What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Wildhern?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear
