Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
