Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why High Cogges hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
