Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Six meats to choose from
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
