Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
