DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list

- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it.

Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
