What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
