Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
