Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, it is dark in Three Mile Cross by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
