A hog roast near Charleshill
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
