Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Roast turkey can be added.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in North Ockendon is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Vehicle access close by
