DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why St Paul's Cray hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
