How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Golden Cross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
