Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved to order by a chef

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact on the day
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
