About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Why choose a hog roast in Jacob's Post?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
