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. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
