Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
