Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds plenty of people quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Questions from Wolvercote
Is Wolvercote close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wolvercote too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
