How many people will a pig feed?
A 1/2 pig will feed 50-60 people. We then do whole pigs that can feed up to 150 people. We source a suitable sized pig for you requirements.
Where are the pigs sourced from?
Our pigs are sourced from a local family run business, which takes pride in it's pork products. The pigs are raised above the current standard assurance scheme and the welfare of the animals is a key priority. The breed is a mix of Large White and Welsh, ensuring a consistant taste. The pigs are bedded on straw year round and the feed is grown & milled on the farm.
Is Crackling included?
Oh Yes! .....some say the best bit!....we pride ourselves in producing some the nicest crackling you will try.
What other meat can I have?
We can also provide, Roast Chickens or Chicken pieces (thighs & drumsticks) & quality butchers sausages to accompany any hog roast package.
Can we see the Hog being carved?
Yes, where possible we love to carve in front of you and your guests....it adds to the atmosphere of a Hog Roast. Meat is carved into trays for people to help themselves to.
What happens with left-overs?
If there are any....All meat and salads (if ordered) are left for you and your guests to enjoy or take home. Take-away boxes can be provided for this if required.
Do you cook the pig on-site?
Generally No. The pig is cooked at our premises and transported to your venue for serving. We do this because of the cooking times involved. However for an additional cost the cooking can take place at your venue.
Do you cater for Vegetarians beside Salads?
Yes we do a range of quiches, veg burgers or a roast veg lasagne.
