A hog roast compared with other options
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
