A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
