Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Six meats to choose from
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Planned to your running order
