Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
