A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
