Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Knockholt hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
