Why choose a hog roast in East Garston?

Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. 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.

Why us?

  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Label alternatives clearly
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.

Roast turkey can be added.

The process

  1. Book early for December.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight.
  4. We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
  5. We tidy up and leave.
