Why choose a hog roast in Cheriton?
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Cheriton hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Cheriton, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
