Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What happens on the day

- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
