Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
