Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book our hog roast in Cold Harbour

- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your team
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

After-work summer events in Cold Harbour have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
