A hog roast compared with other options
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
