Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count families and staff too
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
