Other occasions in Chislet
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
