Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, 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
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
