Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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 us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- All the equipment comes with us
