If you have booked Hog Roast Guildford for your special event and wondering what to do with the leftovers, then we have some great ideas for you to make the most of the delicious pork and sides. The good news is that leftover hog roast is incredibly versatile. So rather than let any of it go to waste, here are some easy, tasty options for you:
Pulled pork sandwiches
Let’s start with a fan favourite. Simply reheat the leftover meat, shred it if it’s not already pulled, and pile it high into fresh bread rolls. Add coleslaw or BBQ sauce for a quick and lunch.
Hog roast hash
Chop the pork into bite-sized chunks and fry it up with leftover roast potatoes, onions, and a few herbs. Top it with fried or poached egg and you’ve got a hearty breakfast or brunch that’ll keep you full for hours.
Loaded fries
Mexican-inspired loaded fries? Yes please. Scatter shredded hog roast over fries, add cheese, jalapeños, and bake for a few minutes. Finish with sour cream, guac, and salsa.
Pork fried rice
Give your hog roast an Asian-inspired twist. Dice the pork finely and toss it into a wok with cooked rice, spring onions, soy sauce, peas, and a scrambled egg or two. It’s the perfect way to turn fridge scraps into a flavour-packed midweek meal.
Hearty hog roast stew
Chop up the leftover pork and throw it into a slow-cooked stew with root vegetables, lentils, or beans. A splash of cider or stock, some herbs, and a few hours simmering, and you’ve got a warming one-pot meal that tastes even better the next day.
Storing your leftovers
To keep your hog roast leftovers fresh and safe to eat:
- Cool the pork quickly (within 1–2 hours of serving)
- Store in airtight containers in the fridge
- Eat within 3 days, or freeze portions for up to 3 months
- Reheat thoroughly before eating—make sure it’s piping hot!
