Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
