Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
