Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Hundred Acres, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
