The menu, dish by dish
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

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. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
