A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. Popular choices include coleslaw, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater customer days and thank-you lunches.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Common questions in Buckland
Is Buckland close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you work around our timings?

Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
