Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
