About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Site access

- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
