DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.

Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
Can you work to our lunch time?
