How our corporate hog roast works in Southford

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
