How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Lower Green are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:

- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
