Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Hove
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hove
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it is team-building days and thank-you lunches, we can cook coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
