Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
