What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
