Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
