Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Halal is not offered
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
