Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. 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, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- The location manager’s agreement
- A level area at base
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
