A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
