The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
A hog roast or other catering?
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
