A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
