A hog roast compared with other options
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
For somewhere as remote as Cranmore, early notice helps us plan the trip.
